How To Reach Regional Science Centre

Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India
The Regional Science Centre (RSC) in Dehradun is an innovative and expansive science park established by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) in collaboration with UCOST (Uttarakhand Council for Science and Technology). Situated in Vigyan Dham, Jhajra, the centre is dedicated to promoting a culture of scientific enquiry and knowledge among the public, especially students. Spread over a large area, it features both indoor galleries and an extensive outdoor Science Park. The indoor exhibits include the Himalaya Gallery (focusing on the biodiversity and geology of the region), the Frontiers of Technology Gallery, a Fun Science Gallery with interactive models, a 3D Theatre, and a mini Planetarium. A major highlight is the Innovation Hub, providing tools and a platform for young minds to conceptualize and build scientific prototypes. The outdoor park features numerous hands-on exhibits that demonstrate fundamental principles of physics and mathematics, such as the Whispering Garden, Gravity Chair, and a life-like Dinosaur Park. The RSC is designed to make learning science an engaging and fun experience, moving away from conventional textbook methods. It serves as a vital educational resource for the entire Garhwal region, aiming to cultivate practical and rational thinking. The centre actively conducts various workshops, lectures, and outreach programs.

How to Reach

By Air: The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport (DED), approximately 40 km away. It is a longer drive towards the Jhajra area, taking about 1. 5 hours by taxi (approx. Rs.1500).

By Train: Dehradun Railway Station (DDN) is about 15-18 km away. Hire a private taxi or an auto-rickshaw for a direct ride, which will take about 45-60 minutes. Ensure you clearly mention "Regional Science Centre, Jhajra" to the driver.

By Road: The ISBT is closer, about 10-12 km from Jhajra. From the ISBT, you can take a local city bus or a shared Vikram (auto) heading towards Premnagar or Jhajra on the western outskirts of the city. The bus/shared auto is the most economical, but slower option.

By Local Transport: The RSC is located a bit away from the main city center. The most reliable way is to hire a pre-paid taxi or a dedicated auto-rickshaw for a return trip, as local transport options like shared Vikrams may not go directly to the gate or may require a long walk.
